Elephants have adapted to inhabit diverse ecosystems due to their high intelligence and wide range of food sources. They can consume up to 159 kg of food per day including roots, bark, grass, leaves, berries and fruits. Their skeleton, skull, and other physical attributes are adapted to support their massive size, with modifications like an orientation of the pelvis and splayed toes. Their trunk allows them to reach food sources high off the ground, and their tusks are used as tools to obtain food, water and salt. Their skin and large ears help keep their bodies cool in warm climates.
